Pancake sacrilege!

When I was growing up my mum always put currants in Shrove Tuesday pancakes (which we ate with lemon and sugar!)

What do other gransnetters think of that?

I think it sounds yummy angelab and furthermore will try it out.

I thought there mught be strong negative feelings about the currants!

I would like to try currants in pancakes - but not on Shrove Tuesday
They are nice in Scotch pancakes anyway

Absent, the restaurant was still there at Christmas so hope it will last a long time, it is popular with locals as well as tourists.
Actually I just had a Google and there are 7 pancake restaurants mentioned but i think you mean The Pancake House.

Sugar and lemon juice (the French can't get their heads around the lemon bit)
Maple syrup
Raspberry jam and cream
Spinach and parmesan

merlotgran my daughter makes lovely gluten free pancakes for her two coeliac sons and so all the family eat them too without any complaints.

Dove gluten free flour makes very good pancakes and also good Scotch pancakes

Although I love pancakes with lemon & sugar I did see a wonderful recipe on Sainsburys' site the other day for a stack cake of pancakes with chocolate between the stacks which were I were not just embarking on a carb free diet I would have made for Easter Sunday dinner. Unfortunately DGD saw it too so I may have to make it anyway.

My favourite is caster sugar and lemon juice. Gorgeous! I make them throughout the year and if I suddenly get a fancy for them but don't have any lemons, I have made them with tangerine juice (from fresh tangerines/ satsumas/mandarins) and soft brown sugar. Very nice. I have also in the past made them with a minced beef/bolognese filling. When we were young our mum used to make them with sultanas in and my brother and sister liked them, but I have always preferred caster sugar and lemon juice. I had some only last week. If I can't be bothered to cook a proper meal in the evening (I live alone), then pancakes it is! That way I can justify it because it's my main meal and not a dessert!

I always have two of my Granddaughters on Tuesday's after school.So we have great fun making and tossing pancakes, on Shrove Tuesday's obviously.They are 11 and 8 and they only ever want lemon juice and sugar which suits my hubby and myself just fine COS IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO EAT PANCAKES RIGHT!!!

Parmesan on a tradition Shrove Tuesday pancake? Parmesan IS a bit of a Marmitey foodstuff - love it or hate it.

Now there's a thought - Marmite on a pancake.

Yeuk!

The Waitrose weekend paper had a recipe for pancakes with oranges and then a warm Cointreau sauce on top. Luckily we didn't have any Cointreau in or I would have been making them straight away! I am sorely tempted though for tomorrow.....

Must admit I cannot get my head around the bottles of ready mixed pancake batter available in shops....its hardly a difficult recipe....!

You put what you fancy on your pancakes

Tradition is lemon and sugar.Nice to have them savoury aswell

Making the basic pancake I make a rich white sauce add plenty of prawns spread this mixture over pancakes roll up and place in greased oven proof dish
Same white sauce add grated mild cheddar pour over
pancakes Cook in fan oven 150 until sauce is bubbling you can finish under a grill to brown cheese.Nice to only have a side salad with this dish as these pancakes are quite filling.
A chilled chardonnay completes

This year, I can have pancakes! I didn't eat eggs for years, as they used to upset me - recently I can eat them, don't know why or what has changed.

So tomorrow I have a visitor who is gluten sensitive. Ahah - I have some spelt flour, which is what she uses. And we'll introduce my little grandson to pancakes, I hope he likes them. I have missed then.

Has anyone tried making pancakes with cornflour?

I'm going to really miss pancakes this year as I love them with lemon and and sugar but recently diagnosed as type2 diabetic I seriously have to give them a miss because one just won't do it
OH loves them and says he's still going to make them for himself, I don't think that's very fair

SW have a pancake recipe which both looked and tasted like a pancake. You just mash a banana, add a beaten egg and cook (either one or several small pancakes) in an oiled frying pan. I was most pleasantly surprised.

Traditional lemon and sugar, although I do love butter and sugar when in France.

Lemon and sugar for Shrove Tuesday pancakes of course.

When I lived in Sheffield many, many years ago we often went to an Italian restaurant which served pancakes wrapping a dollop of vanilla icecream with hot chocolate sauce poured over all. Heaven

Sugar and lemon juice! My Grandson rang the other day and asked if he coud come and eat my pancakes, he always has them with lemon and sugar (no other way), here in this Country they have pancakes with jam, my Grandson is educating them on the finer things in life! nice that he has inherited a good English custom.

Well I'm having bacon and blue cheese pancakes, followed by crepe suzette!

Nutella and strawberries is delicious as is lemon and sugar.

I also love savoury pancakes filled with bacon and sausage. But I do have a French mother and crepes in France have a variety of fillings including savoury.

Definitely only lemon and sugar for Shrove Tuesday - any other way is, indeed, sacrilege!
Oh but I do love summer pancakes with fresh raspberries and creme fraiche (sorry, can never work out how to get the accents on French words on my iMac)
